Shen Kang indeed fell silent obediently.

He stood quietly in a corner, observing the expression on the boss’s face.

At this moment, Lu Jihan unconsciously displayed a fatherly smile, gently stroking Song Dabai’s tender little face with one hand. After softly caressing his face, he lowered his head and gave him a light kiss on the forehead.

This action gave Shen Kang the illusion that Lu Jihan had regained his memory, happily looking at him.

Unexpectedly, Lu Jihan raised his head to look at him and noticed Shen Kang holding the dinner box he had packed. He said:

"Assistant Shen, please leave some of the dinner for Song Dabai, in the thermal container. When he wakes up later, he can reheat it and eat."

Hearing Lu Jihan calling him Assistant Shen, the stars that rose in Shen Kang’s eyes dimmed again.

It seemed that Lu Jihan still hadn’t regained his memory.

Because, the boss used to always call him by his name, but now he just called him Assistant Shen, inadvertently revealing a bit of distance.

Shen Kang sighed lightly in resignation, and following Lu Jihan’s instructions, he left a portion of the meal in the thermal container.

...

Later, Song Yinyin returned to the ward.

Gently pushing the door of the ward open, she immediately saw Song Dabai cradled in Lu Jihan’s embrace. The father and son shared a quilt, leaning against the hospital bed with eyes closed, both asleep.

Worried that Lu Jihan might be pressed on his wound by Song Dabai, Song Yinyin crept quietly over, lifted the quilt, intending to take Song Dabai away.

However, as soon as she lifted the quilt, she saw an amusing yet warm scene.

Song Dabai was utterly oblivious, sleeping soundly, his little body sprawled in a large X-shape, with his hands and feet practically draped over Lu Jihan.

A stream of drool trickled from the corner of his mouth, dripping onto Lu Jihan’s hospital gown...

Yet Lu Jihan wasn’t the least bit disgusted, letting Song Dabai lie like that, while the other hand wrapped around his small body.

Such a warm and beautiful scene slightly reddened Song Yinyin’s eyes, and her nose tingled with an ache.

In a moment of distraction, Lu Jihan, quite coincidentally, woke up on the hospital bed.

Seeing Song Yinyin standing in front of him with reddened eyes, he was taken aback: "When did you arrive?"

Not wanting him to see her vulnerable side, Song Yinyin quickly pulled out a tissue, turned her back to wipe away the tears in her eyes.

She sniffled a bit and then said, "Just got here a while ago."

But, Lu Jihan had already noticed the redness in her eyes, and inexplicably felt a pang in his heart, and asked, "What’s wrong with you? Have you been crying?"

"Who cried! Just had some dust fall into my eyes accidentally..." Song Yinyin deflected.

Lu Jihan responded with a hum and didn’t say much else.

Afraid he might catch on to her thoughts, Song Yinyin quickly changed the topic: "Have you eaten? I brought some food over just now."

"No need, I’ve already eaten. The child hasn’t eaten yet, but I had Assistant Shen leave dinner in the thermal container. When he wakes up, it can be slightly reheated and eaten."

He glanced at Song Dabai in his arms.

Afraid to disturb his rest, Song Yinyin said: "I’ll carry him over to the sofa to sleep."

"That’s fine too. Squeezing on one hospital bed isn’t comfortable for him." Lu Jihan nodded.

Song Yinyin carefully reached out, trying to pick up Song Dabai.

Unexpectedly, before her arms could touch Song Dabai, Song Dabai woke up on his own.
